I get travel insurance when traveling internationally. And when I go to Costa Rica in the fall, I'm likely going to get kidnap and ransom insurance.

... is kidnapping american tourists really a problem in Costa Rica? -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 11:17 22
- Not there, but I may end up traveling into other countries. I'm thinking of take a motorcycle trip south through Panama into Colombia and Venezuala. - ReluctantCynic Feb 7, 11:23 14
  - VENEZUELA?!!! -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 11:25 4
    - I've always wanted to travel along the Caribbean coast of Colombia and Venezuala. - ReluctantCynic Feb 7, 11:29 3
      - I draw the line at countries with reports of cannibalism. Heck, I draw the line long before that. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 11:40
      - I would like to visit that lightning bay in Venezuela. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 11:30 1
        
        I really want to see Angel Falls -- nm - decline Feb 7, 11:38

  - omg - you're Che Guevara! -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 11:24 4
    - What can I say? Donald Trump has turned me from a fairly moderate, middle aged guy into a subversive radical. - ReluctantCynic Feb 7, 11:26 2

        hehe -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 11:32
    - also i wouldn't do that in Colombia. There's still FARC. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 11:25
  - It's actually fairly difficult to go overland between Panama and Colombia from what I've heard. You might want to check into that. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 11:24 2
    - The Darien Gap? I've done that. It's no big deal. -- nm - Coach Wade Feb 7, 11:29
    - I've heard that as well. I am checking into it, and I'm still very iffy, but I've got about 6 months to finalize plans. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 7, 11:27
- Not that I've ever known. - spamlet Feb 7, 11:23
- Seriously, if that's a consideration, that'd be a red flag for me. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 11:21
- That depends if he's there during bear hunting season - oblique Feb 7, 11:18 4
